#9 WrestleMania 33 - Roman Reigns vs. The Undertaker

A sad sight for fans of The Deadman

After their confrontation at the Royal Rumble, The Undertaker returned to confront Roman Reigns which lead to their match at WrestleMania 33. Fans weren't too excited for the buildup of the match and were even less excited when it was revealed to be the main event of the show.

WWE tried everything they could to make this match work; a solid video package, adding the No Holds Barred stipulation and Jim Ross providing commentary. Unfortunately, the in-ring action failed to deliver and only served to remind fans how old and worn-out The Undertaker had become.

The beginning of the bout was decent and featured some solid action, but a weak Last Ride, an embarrassing Tombstone Piledriver botch from Reigns, a botched Hells Gate and the overabundance of finishers and chair shots made the match feel like a lesser version of The Undertaker’s match against Triple H at WrestleMania 27.

The match ended with Reigns victorious, The Undertaker possibly retired and fans feeling a mix of sadness and dissatisfaction.
